Wire Shelving

Get to know your wire shelving options Wire shelving comes in a variety of finishes, including chrome wire shelving, epoxy powder coating and black powder coating. Your choices also include flat shelves or basket shelves, which are well-suited for storing objects that might spill off flat shelves.

I recommend:  For a good selection of wire shelving units, visit major suppliers of industrial storage equipment, such as Global Equipment Company or Gershel Brothers New & Used Store Fixtures. For a directory of storage shelving suppliers, visit Business.com.

Use mobile wire shelving units for on-the-go storage If you frequently need to transport stored items, consider investing in mobile wire shelving units. Available with flat shelves or basket shelves, mobile wire shelving units come in standard upright sizes and cart sizes.

I recommend:  Check with 1-800-Buy-Rack for a good supply of mobile wire shelving units and carts.

Cheap wire shelving units Since industrial racks are usually hidden away in back offices, warehouses and storage rooms, looks aren't always important. If cost-cutting is your main objective, consider cheap wire shelving alternatives, such as used wire shelving.

I recommend:  For cheap wire shelving, go to vendors like Production Automation where prices are lower because they only make a small number of the most popular wire shelving parts. Ace Overstock puts its used wire shelving to the test with stringent quality controls so you can be confident it's in tip-top shape.

Antimicrobial wire shelving If you're in the foodservice business, antimicrobial wire shelving may be your best bet because it protects against a broad range of bacteria, molds, mildew and odors.

I recommend:  Omega Products and Intermetro Industries carry antimicrobial industrial wire racks in addition to standard chrome wire shelving units and other styles.
